Maybe, maybe not. The affect of the podcast trend suggests other leanings toward anti intellectualism and fascism—as you’ve pointed out here, quite correctly, about autism speculation absolutely being eugenics.

I’ve always hated podcasts, this illustrating one of the main issues of people feeling like—because they like to record their voice—they should voice opinions on things that they have no stake in but actually affect real life people (and fans, in turn, take it as fact)

For poetry day, here's a personal favorite by Rita Mae Brown. Words to outlast every empire. An army of lovers shall not fail. 🏴
Sappho's Reply

My voice rings down through thousands of years
To coil around your body and give you strength,
You who have wept in direct sunlight,
Who have hungered in invisible chains,
Tremble to the cadence of my legacy:
An army of lovers shall not fail.
